Chapter 24: NOT THE RIGHT TIME
CHAPTER TWENTY FOUR
Stephan's eyes were on Kate almost throughout dinner but Kate avoided his eyes like they were a plague - she was a good actress and he did give her that. In the middle of the night, when he was sure the only persons awake should be the pack warriors on patrol, Beta Stephan walked to Kate's room in the mansion.
Lucky for him, her door was not locked from inside and he entered her room and sat on her bed. Feeling good by Michael Buble was playing at its highest in the room and Kate was singing to it. Beta Stephan heard the water running and knew that she was taking a bath so he made himself comfortable. He saw an opened photo album on the bed and he picked it and began to flip through it. He saw pictures of Dr Kate when she was small and the embarrassing pictures she took with her family members. His favourite was of Dr Kate in a baby blue little gown with her hair packed into two and jutted at the end. She was smiling brightly in the picture, just like how bright her room is because of the almost complete use of white colours and she was missing a set of incisors. She looked cute and more innocent than she looked now.
"You have always been a beauty, mate!" said Beta Stephan as he touched Dr Kate's baby picture. He heard the turn off of water and he knew Kate was coming out of the bathroom soon. He placed the picture how he saw it and crossed his legs - a great pose for her arrival. Dr Kate comes out of the bathroom with a bathrobe and a towel tied up on her head and the hum of a tune on her lips.
As she closes the door behind her, she continues singing,
"Freedom of the mind…that's how I feel, it's a new dawn, it's a new…"
She turns around to see Beta Stephan on her bed and she is startled.
She turns down the volume of the music before facing Stephan squarely.
"What do you think you are doing, barging into my room?" asked Dr Kate.
"For the record, I didn't barge into your room darling, I walked in and you happened to be singing like a duck at the top of your voice. Now I see why you mandatorily demanded for a sound proof system to be installed in your room" said Stephan and a smile broke on his face.
"Not funny and I don't care. All I want to know Is why you are here?" asked Kate with a peeved look on her face as she brings down the towel from her hair and begins to towel dry it.
"To obviously see you!" said Stephan.
"Me? The lady who is a big fool because she is older than some random lycan who wants to fuck her?" asked Karen.
"Nope, the lady who is my mate and I'm not some random lycan Dr Kate. I am Stephan Stone - Supreme Beta to lycans and werewolves of the North, South, East and West."
"Get your haughty self out of my door lycan of the underworld"
"That's funny actually! I came here to apologize to you for being a royal dick and also for saying you have inferiority complex"
"Nope, you are just an ordinary dick…please omit the royal part out of that"
"Alright I am an ordinary dick who has come to you for forgiveness"
"Perfect, you are forgiven. Now you may leave"
"Isn't there going to be a direct saying to my dick? It's covered by these walls of clothes and I know it can't hear you."
"What gibberish are you spewing now Beta"
"Though my body and brain agrees that I should get that flimsy robe you are on off, I just think it wouldn't be right if I dare that after a sincere apology, so I'll just get going now"
"Thanks," said Kate softly.
Stephan turns to go but Kate says, "do you think you could spend the night with me? I don't mean in the sexual way, I just mean like spend the night resting,…forget about it"
"How can I? This is your very first request from me and I do understand what you mean. Take your time and get dressed in anything comfy, I'll be waiting on your bed. Your childhood pictures would keep me busy!" said Stephan before pulling off his flip flops and jumping into Kate's bed. Kate smiles but doesn't let Stephan see it before she trots to her walk in closet.
Kate is a tad confused on what to wear as she is torn in between wearing something lacy - that could be hinting at something else, something excessively big - that would be so uninteresting and though she wouldn't want to admit it to herself, she didn't want to come off as a boring person to Stephan.
She finally settled for a random green old polo shirt and a grey shirt with grey socks. She came out of her walk in closet disappointed because Stephan was already fast asleep.
'There goes my shot at impressing' thought Karen as she goes to the bed. Stephan was sleeping with his legs widely opened and not as someone who was sharing the room of another. He was sprawled comfortably. She manages to squeeze herself into her own bed and immediately she lays down, Stephan grabs her as he would a pillow.
She is shocked but later calms down when she discovers he is still actually sleeping.
She allows him to place a hand across her stomach and she falls asleep surrounded by his scent.
When Karen is done bathing, she walks into Ralph's huge walk-in closet while Ralph goes to have his bath after her.
Karen sees Ralph's set of black and navy blue suits arranged in one row and another row of his black and different shades of brown long coats. His walk-in closet was stupendously luxurious and she could not help but stare at the size of his walk-in closet that was almost equivalent with the size of her room.
She chose a white shirt of his that almost reached her knees. She blow dried her hair and wore a pair of his black socks. As she was about to leave his walk-in closet, Ralph was about to enter, only clad in a towel that hung dangerously low and revealed the vee shape of his waistline.
She swallowed hard as she took in his appearance and she knew she could have choked if she happened to have been eating. His wet long hair dripped water that flowed on his chest and back and Karen felt like running a moist, warm tongue along the water and lap at it like a bitch - a female dog.
'You are turning insane Miss Zayn' thought Karen as she chided herself.
"You look good in my shirt Kay. You should burn all those clothes in your room, they do you no justice" said Ralph before he passed by her to wear something for bedtime.
Karen hurriedly tipped her way with her toes out of the room as her brain ran wilder when she got to check out Ralph's tight ass that moulded well in the towel he was tying.
'This is freaking insane' she screamed in her head.
'Just so Mother Selene freaking unbelievable'.
Ralph came out in a silky navy blue men's nightie and sat on a chair that faced the vanity in the room.
"Do you mind helping me blow dry my hair?" asked Ralph.
"I can do that" replied Karen nervously and she stood up and picked the hair dryer from the table. As she turns it on, she immediately drops it but Ralph manages to catch it.
"You are being clumsy pequeño and I can sense your nervousness. I promise not to do anything that would make you uncomfortable, I promise. I just want you in my bed with me tonight" said Ralph as he hands her back the hair dryer.
'It's myself I do not trust around you Ralph' thought Karen as words failed her and all she could do was nod before focusing on the task she was given.
Ralph picked up a document and began to read through it as she did his hair and when she was done, it was past midnight and time for bed but Ralph seemed to have other ideas.
Her being in his shirt and pair of socks was doing something to him and this thing challenged his self control. When she was done, he dropped the document back on the table before guiding Karen by hand so she could straddle him.
She straddles him well and it is while she has straddled him that Karen recollects that she does not have the tiniest of clothing material covering her ass.
"You intoxicate me pequeño. It's just like I can't seem to get enough of you. Pardon me but may I go for a kiss?" asked Ralph.
Karen nodded like one that was being compelled and Ralph clamped his lips down on hers. He placed a hand on her throat as he kissed her and tilted her head backwards as he deepened the kiss.
He lifted her and placed her on the bed, still not breaking the kiss. After some seconds, he breaks the kiss and places his forehead on hers.
"If not because I know this isn't the right time, I would have taken you right now, right here on this bed little one. You should be grateful!" said Ralph huskily as he placed a finger on her lower lip and poked his tongue at it. He fell to her right side of the bed and Karen snuggled into Ralph's body.
He covers the both of them with a clean white sheet and tangles his legs in between hers.
Ralph was soon asleep, feeling very comfortable in the presence of his mate but Karen could not sleep so easily for tomorrow marked the countdown till the day she would be eternally separated from Ralph.
